I need to get out and meet people (ok, ladies). I work in a technical career field that is 90% male.?

Question

I want to know how to get out and about. It seems that, even though I'm succesful in business, I have let my personal life slide. I travel internationally a lot in my business (aviation) as a corporate rep which seems to eat up my personal time.........I even have to pay someone to cut my own grass.

Answer 1

Stop running in circles and THINK for a moment. Would a female in your line of work have time to date you? No.

There is Time Management and there is Corporate Management. You are doing the work of five people only because the corporation hasn't figured out how to keep you alive doing the work of six people. It is literally "All or Nothing" - if you cut back, you are out.

1. Learn Danish & negotiate for a companion in your next review.

2. Accept that the job is your 'wife' & love honor and obey her.

3. Let the guy who wants your job have it, start a career at any Payless store and wait for the love of your life to walk in.

Answer 2

As someone who traveled too much for work, and who is happily dating someone who travels too much for work - I have some idea of where you're coming from. Most people, male and female are scared to date people who travel a lot. I heard a lot of "Wow, you must have a guy in every town!" Like we have any free time when we're traveling for work...

Anyway, we got together through mutual friends at a casual party. So, talk to your friends. Talk to your friends' spouses. You don't have to be desperate, just let them know that despite your crazy schedule, you're not adverse to second dates.

In addition, you don't need to find someone in the same industry, but I would suggest look for people who grasp the concept of traveling for work.

Now where would you find these people? Well, I'm not sure I know that answer. However, I would consider trying to find an organization that will let you volunteer without having consistent time commitments. Other busy people may also gravitate there. A lot of charities and such welcome volunteers for fund-raising event days, plus a training day.

Oh, and talk to the person that cuts your grass. They know other busy people...

Answer 3

Hey, there are still women in your line of field, if it's only 90% male. I met my husband through work, when I was the only woman at the company in a very male dominated field.

Let all your male friends and your family know that you're looking to meet women. I'm sure they have sisters, or friends of sisters or coworkers, etc. that they can introduce you to. Don't be adverse to blind dates. You never know who you will meet.

You could also try joining a sports club or volunteering, but those things take time, and I'm not sure if you could spare that.

Good luck!

Have to give you some credit here. This is just about one of the slickest ways to try to have a affair that I have seen in a while. Hope all your money, travel and influence finds you what we both know your really looking for. You might want to post on Craigslist, this way, you can find a hook up easier.

Answer 5

Take some time away from your job and get to know the ladies.Mix a little pleasure with your business while you are still young enough to enjoy it.

Answer 6

Tell people a little more about yourself. Your age-likes and dislikes. You could just go fishing. HINT You could have fun anyway. Good Luck.
